Coaching looses the game

[Buffarama]

4rth and goal at the one. We run on first. Pass for a loss back to the 7. The pass two more straight times. If you can't run the ball in from the one, or two for that matter, on 3-4 plays, the coaches need to get their act together. The play calling at the point was atrocious.
When we talk about records, 6-10, 7-9, 8-8, 5-11. It's stupidity like this that will gt a coaches fired regardless of the record.

How can you say coaching cost us the game. It is just pre season and this is the time to work on the 4th down conversions, and other tricky plays like that.

GW just said they wanted to get all things worked out.

You run the ball 4 times from the one, and hang your head if you don't score in embarresment. Then you begin to figure out why you can't gain one yard on four running plays.
Like I said before, this offensive line can't get in done in the crunch. Welcome to your season. Nor can the defensive line. Next year we will. This year is going to be better, but we're not ready yet to compete for any title.

[northernbillfan]

You are right about not being ready to compete this season. Not many of us on ANY boards feel that way, just the over optimistic.

An 8-8 season is a great step in the direction towards a title.

Some have become a little too eager for this season and think it will THE season, more of us a a little realistic in knowing we still have a long way to go.

and who said we were ready to compete. If you thought so you were fooling yourself buffarama. This is a YOUNG team with lots of NEW faces. I would say this even if they brought in Sam adams. Don't get to high yet,wait a year!

In the regular season, I'd completely agree with you 'rama. However, in preseason I'll give the coaches the benefit of the doubt that they wanted to experiment.

Lighten up there Buff--it was a 4th quarter exhibition-game O-Line in there for that last series. I saw my paperboy out there playing LT.

Besides the Bills aren't going to show anything that they might do in the regular during a pre season game.

How many pre season games did our Hall of Fame Coach Levy win!

[Tatonka]

there were no injuries!

I feel a lot better about the Bils' play in this game than vs. Cincinnati. Who knows what the result would have been if the Bills first unit faced the Minnesota first unit in that goal line stand. It's preseason. The coaches want to find out if any of those third stringers can play. If I remember, Pucillo played center and Conaty left guard on that series. I have no idea, listening to the radio, who the tackles were. If any of them besides Conaty (and Conaty would be at center instead of guard) have to play any length of time during the regular season the Bills are doomed.

After tonight, I'm more optimistic the Bills will be able to run the ball this season. As far as stopping the run we're gonna have to see if adding Price, and hopefully Ahanotu will make a difference. I think the Bills may be in some high scoring games this year.

First of all they ran on second and were stuffed for a 5 yard loss. That was not a pass. If they were going to pass it should have been play action on 1rst or 2nd. It really did not matter.
All the guys that were on the field than will not be on this team anyway

[lordofgun]

yeah, i didn't think the voaches did a bad job on that series. The second down play WAS a run. dang o-line scrubs...

[Buffarama]

Well if the second down play was a run, I am way off the mark. I can only thank Van Miller for screwing up another call. This guy needs to retire.

[Bufftp]

The national associaton of embalmers won't let him retire, he gives too much free publicity.
